    Drain the Hollywood Swamp

    And how do you propose identifying these folks? As I understand guilt still has to be proven, an accusation is not enough, we are not God so we are fallable. Take care how you exercise your judgement, you may recall our Lord counselled care when judging others, even peadophiles and perverts...

    Drain the Hollywood Swamp

    Oh please! This sort of over reaction will not rid theworld of sexual predators or any other sort of sinful behaviour. If you wish to punish the sexual predators then at least be specific. Do not punish ALL of Hollywood or the moviemaking world for the sins of the few, and yes relatively...

    The dead sea

    It is known as the Dead Sea because nothing flows out of it. There is no outlet for the water which flows in except evaporation. The effect is to increase the concentration of minerals in the water and make the water undrinkable, so the name stuck with it. Pete from Peterborough UK

    Jo's friendship corner. Everyone welcome

    I watched that game last night our time, and yes Twickenham is the home of English Rugby and is a very nice stadium. I was a bit surprised by how small the Football field is compared to a rugby field, the rugby field fills the grassed area almost at Twickenham. It looked to me like the Vikings...

    What ways do you deal with grief?

    Well this is a tough one for me. The first time I experienced real personal grief was when my son died at just two days old. You can no doybt imagine that what should have been a time of great joy and turmoil if a new baby instantly collapsed, our life turned very dark indeed, and I turned to...

    What ways do you deal with grief?

    Only one thing heals grief, and that is time. Time for God to calm the storm and teach you peace again. Pete from Peterborough UK

    Who are you here for?

    Calling. Now there is another emotive topic, jsimms I am really happy for you that you have a clear understanding of your calling, although you have not actually answered the full question that you pose in your OP. How did you actually discover your calling? For me this topic has been a...

    What do you look for in a church?

    First let me state that I am not a member of a church right now, and have not been for some years. That said if I were seeking a church to join likeothers here I would check their doctrine, teaching and worship style as all of these are important to me. Then I would attend for a while to see...

    Bell Ringing

    There are churches in our city that still have bells that are rung, but not to the same regularity mentioned above. My understanding is that churches with bell towers and a full peel of bells have structural issues that bell ringing will not help, so they are only rung on special occassions...

    What Good is Prayer?

    I think people that ask whether God answers prayer, or more explicitly why doesn’t God answer prayer, are only interested in getting God to answer in a specific way. What we all need to recognise is that answers come in many ways, lets all remember that No is also an answer! In the case...

    Evangelism on Halloween

    I am in favour of anything that ensures that All Hallows Evening is not taken over by the tacky thing called Trick or Treating. Lets remember that All Hallows Evening was put on this night to try to counteract the percieved evil of Samain in the heathen religions of the European tribes. So...

    Pets in hospitals

    Recovery after surgery

    It will depend on how invasive the surgery was. In my case I had a double hernia op by keyhole surgery. For me recovery was about a week to get over the immediate pain and trapped gas, and full recovery took about a month. I know people who have had open wound surgery who took a lot longer to...

    Blood Curse?

    Just my six penneth here, but curses whether sealed with blood or not do not have anything to do with God, in fact the opposite is true, curses usually invoke evil spirits into a situation or life. In the case you quote in the OP it is very reasonable to extrapolate that the Holocaust and much...

    Gods Voice(Only those who believe that God speaks today)

    My apologies to the OP and other members here, I have spent most of today explaining (unsuccesfully) that it is, in my opinion, entirely God's decision on how and whether He speaks to His followers. Unfortunately I allowed my ire at not making any progress with convincing a small group of...
